Story

I’ve been going to Calvert Trust for many years and get to do loads of things like canoeing, ghyll scrambling, climbing, abseiling, etc that I wouldn't normally get to do. 

I couldn’t go in 2020 because of Coronavirus, and have also missed out on going to the gym, seeing my friends and going to work.

I haven’t walked much since the first lockdown, so am going to try and walk for at least a mile a day for the rest of January - 21 days left.  I thought this might be a good way to raise funds for Calvert Trust and a challenge for me as I don’t normally go walking if it rains! 

Thank you for sponsoring me if you can. Mark Sykes

About the charity

The Lake District Calvert Trust provides residential outdoor activity courses for people of all ages with physical, sensory, learning, behavioural and/or mental disabilities. Its mission is to challenge disability through outdoor adventure. Pioneering equipment adaptations, and intensive, instructor-led activity programmes (that include climbing, abseiling, canoeing, sailing, horse/trap driving, archery, orienteering and paragliding), provide an environment whose aims are to teach, challenge, motivate, engender confidence in ability, promote independence, and foster integration. All instructors are highly trained and specialist qualified, and the facilities are specially adapted and fully accessible to all. The Lake District Calvert Trust provides a unique and life-changing experience for those with disabilities, who are encouraged to believe that it’s what you CAN do that counts.
